Personally I'm not sure i'd quote that particular line in a post but think its totally fine to RT the article in question (or for that matter post it in general). Its a good article.

I mean, apart from a few lines it seems like a pretty positive sentiment to me, but I'll defer to your better judgement on this.

"snobbery and obscurantism" Hmm. But if Joe is ok with it, then I think it is worth at least an RT?

"A dowdy education system hides its flaws inside larded layers of snobbery and obscurantism."

I feel like more and more educators are open-minded about Wikipedia -- for example our blog posts about Tel Aviv University teaching a course in Wikipedia and Wikipedians-in-residence in some of Europe's oldest universities. 

Is the statement above -- fine in the writer's opinion piece -- a poke in the eye if shared by us?
